There are two reasons you might consider penile implant surgery.
The first is you may be unhappy with the size and shape of your penis. You might have a deformity, retractile penis, or a condition you can't control. In this case, a penile implant can permanently enlarge the penis and improve its shape and appearance.
The second is that you may be suffering from severe erectile dysfunction, and you've already tried more conservative treatments such as medication and injection therapy. Specific conditions that make men candidates for surgery include erectile dysfunction from diabetes, prostatectomy erectile dysfunction, spinal chord injuries, or penile deformities.
Private clinics in Canada charge between $6,000 - $16,000.
In the United States, the average cost is CA$27,200.
Costs vary so much because of surgery type (malleable implant vs inflatable (IPP) device), location, surgeon experience, facility type, complexity, and included services (some clinics offer all-inclusive, while others charge separately for anesthesia, followup care, etc.).
You also need to take into account the cost of travel and accommodation when travelling out of province.
No, you do not need a referral for private penile implant surgery in Canada. You can book a consultation directly with a surgeon, and they will review your condition, symptoms, and any previous treatments or diagnostics.
There are two types of penile implant procedures:
Inflatable penile prothesis (IPP): offers a more natural aesthetic and feel. These implants come in a two or three piece system, with cylinders in the penis, a pump in the scrotum, and a resevoir in the abdomen (if three pieces). This allows the patient to inflate for an erection and deflate for a natural flaccid look.
Semi-rigid malleable implants: a less costly option that permanently enlarge the penis with malleable implants that maintain rigidity at all times.
Your surgeon will better describe your options based on your circumstances, but in general, IPPs are preferred because they offer more natural look and feel with better concealment. Malleable implants may be better if you're looking for a more cost-effective, simpler solution.
Your surgeon will provide you with guidance on how to prepare. If you smoke, you will be advised to stop to improve healing outcomes. Depending on your weight, you may be advised to diet and exercise to reduce surgical risks and improve healing outcomes.
Penile implant surgery is generally considered safe, with minimal risk and side effects.
The most common issues include infection and fluid build up, but this can be minimized with proper post-operative care.
For IPPs, mechanical failure is a potential risk, which will require a revision surgery.
In rare cases, the implant might wear through tissue or stick to skin inside the penis, which may lead to it being removed.
The recovery process varies patient to patient. Your recovery might look quite different, so please seek further guidance from your surgeon. In general here is what you can expect:
